Researchers have developed a smart genetic reference library for locating and weeding out disease-causing mutations in populations. The technique and database has successfully estimated naturally occurring rare-variants in the STAT1 gene – and determined the diseases that would result. The STAT1 genetic library could be expanded to include other genes in forming a vast genetic reference library, say researchers. Its use in conjunction with genome sequencing technologies would help determine new found mutations and assist in fighting disease.
